Ever since grade 10 math has been killing me. Even the most simple things I just don't get in the exam, even if I practiced I still fail with flying colors, and I don't mean I just get low marks Im talking about 12 out of 100 or a 5 out of 50. I don't understand why, because I understand while practicing but when I am met with the test everything just seems more complicated and harder. I am doing just fine and get A's in all the other subjects but this one. Please help me,give me advise or what not. I also tried practicing math everyday because I heard it HELPS but at the end I got a 12 out of 100. Its gotten to a point where I dont even bother practicing(even before a test) anymore because what's the point?
I'm in grade 11 now and the only reason Im passing my grades is because in my school we are only allowed to fail one subject. Only one, if it were more than 1 I would still be in grade 10.
Please help me out here , I have tried everything.

Dragonflymagic answered Thursday August 15 2019, 8:38 pm: you have tried everything you say but I dont have that list so I don't know what your 'everything' entails. There may be something you didn't think of that I do. I also had trouble with math and finally became stuck when I had to take algebra. My HS at the time noticed there was at least a classroom worth of students who were failing miserably and created an algebra class for slow learners. Since that is not possible at your school, I would suggest asking the school if there are people available to do tutoring. If you have tried that, then I am sorry but I don't know what else to do. If you can do good at basics like knowing how to take a recipe and not double it but add one half to it, or when you see an item advertised as 30% off in price with only the original price posted, and you are able to figure out that amount before you get to the cash register, then you will be able to do okay in adult life but wont be good for a job that involves lots of math.
